Hello, my dolls. Welcome back to the Busy Yet Pretty Podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. I'm looking so forward to today's episode because I have been non-stop talking about this topic for the past week and this is something I've always lived by and I'm really excited to share it with you guys. So without further ado, let's get into today's weekly review. So this week, I have been working at cafes a lot, which I found myself to be so much more productive. I feel like a lot of people can agree. on this where we work better outside of our home or a typical office space and for me, I work so much better when I'm working around people. It kind of motivates you just like a workout class where if you were to take a workout class, you're going to probably work out better and try harder seeing other people because it motivates you to work.

So I feel like that's something that I've been doing a lot lately is working on my work at cafes or in public. Another thing I've been doing is really trying to enjoy summer. I feel like I keep forgetting because I'll be working or I'll be occupying myself and I'm like, wait, it's summer. Let me try to relax a bit more. So I've been really trying to incorporate relaxing time outside tanning and overall just trying to enjoy summer. Another thing this week is I've been really trying to prioritize activity and trying to really prioritize movement. I have been really feeling a lot better when I've prioritized my movement.

And if you feel sluggish or maybe you feel like really tired, I really motivate you guys to go try to work out a bit and try to get more movement in because that can be such a help in trying to energize you and feel better. Another thing this week is I've been really trying to pinpoint what brings me joy. I really tried to figure out what is making me the happiest and how can I begin to incorporate that more into my daily life. So that's what I've been up to this week. Moving on to my current obsessions. My current obsession is walking. I literally love walking lately. I used to walk under a thousand steps a day because I was working all the time and I realized how much it was making me

just feel so sluggish. So I started walking about 10,000 steps a day and let me just tell you, It feels so good and I feel so much more awake, energized, and happier. So walking has definitely been a current obsession for me, as well as being outside, listening to summer playlist in the sun. I have been trying to curate a really good summer playlist that I can listen to while laying in the sun, and it truly just makes me feel like summer. Another current obsession for me at this moment, which I feel relates perfectly to this episode, but is to get refocused and not let outside life and peers around me distract me from my goals.

I think it's so important to stay focused and don't let things distract you, where I've been really trying to lean into that this week, and it's made me feel so much better and productive. Moving on to the goal of the week. My goal of the week is to start reading more. I have been reading The Mountain as you, and I swear I've already highlighted so much in the book so far. It just is so motivating in a book I really love.

I really want to try to be consistent reading it and finish the book by the end of the week. Another goal of the week is to plan a solo trip. I don't know where or if this is even going to go through, but if I have time, I would love to plan a little summer solo trip for myself. I've been trying to brainstorm some places, maybe Hawaii or something. I usually would pick a city, but since I've lived in the city for a year now, I feel like I want to kind of go somewhere relaxing, but we will see I will update you guys. So if you are thinking about a solo trip, I encourage you guys to take one this summer.

Another goal of the week is to sunbathe for at least five minutes daily. It feels so good to get daily sun in and to lay out. And I have found it to literally increase my mood and just feel so much better when I lay out in the sun, which is where five minutes daily laying in the sun is so essential in my daily routine. My last goal of the week is to journal and script more for manifesting. I always manifest so much when I actually script and journal and that is something that really helps me manifest my reality and I truly feel like I can tap into feeling those emotions when I journal. So I definitely want to start journaling and scripting more for manifesting. Moving on to an affirmation.

What's meant for me will always attract to me. I love that so much because it's It is so true. What is meant for you will attract for you. If you get an opportunity, you're giving it because the universe knows you have potential and the universe knows you are able to do this task. Start saying yes. Start taking on opportunities that scare you.

I promise you, fear is temporary and your future is forever. Moving on to a challenge. Take a step towards one of your fears and you know what fear you have in your mind. this could be maybe applying to a new job so just do some research on this job take one step closer to your fear and that will help you overcome the fear by just taking one step at a time next step is a self-love question to ask yourself how do you impact others that is an ultimate reflection of yourself i love that question so much because it really allows us to think how do we treat others because how we treat others is a reflection of ourself if you are giving positivity to others and giving the motivation and happiness, that is how you view yourself. Unlike someone maybe who's mean to you or rude to you, that is a reflection of themselves. Always remember how people act is a reflection of them.

I love that question so much and I really recommend journaling that question. Next is a podcast review. If you want to be featured on next week's episode, please feel free to leave a podcast review over Apple Podcasts. This podcast review is from Ely. Hopefully I'm saying her name right, but she said, Jaden is the best and I love her vibe. She helped me through my self-love journey and I absolutely stand. I listen to your podcast every day and I really want you to know how important you have been in my life. I always listen to you on my hot girl walks and any time I can. And I constantly wait for a new episode to be released.

That just makes me so unbelievably happy to hear. I just love, again, hearing how you guys listen to the podcast when you said you do it on your hot girl walk. That is just so cute and I'm so glad the podcast has been helpful on your wellness journey. I'm so unbelievably proud of you and thank you so much for your sweet review. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode. You are a product of your environment. And when you hear the word environment, you might not understand quite what I'm meaning, but environment is what you surround yourself in. It doesn't mean what city you're in, doesn't mean what house you're in, it's what you surround

yourself in overall in your life. And yes, unfortunately, not all of us are able to control all parts of our environment such as our home life, school life, or work situation. But even in those uncontrollable situations, you're still able to control certain aspects in those situations. That can include the way you partake, react, and internalize your environment. Think about those three words. Partake, react, and internalize. You are able to control your environment, or at least most of your

environment. And when you hear the quote, you are a product of your environment. Product means you. As how the word product is referring to outcome, it's referring to you. In simpler words, what you surround yourself with, how you partake, and how you react will produce the outcome of you. In regarding environment, environment can be your friends, family, media, what you can consume. And as much as you want to deny the truth, you will become who and what you surround yourself with. In the back of your head, I know you're thinking of a specific person that you know isn't good for you, but you don't want to let them go, or a certain opportunity. But I promise you what you partake in and what you consume and what you surround yourself in is the product of you, and that's what you will become. A good example is if you don't like partying but you found a new group of friends who all party,

as much as you do not like partying throughout time, you will most likely begin partying because that is the norm in your environment you chose to surround yourself in. You have to fully understand and drill this in your brain that who you choose to surround yourself with you will eventually become. Think about people in life, such as your friends, your coworkers, your family. Do you want to become them? ask yourself that do you want to become them and especially think about the specific people that you hang around the most would you be okay becoming them that is who you will become if you choose to

continue surrounding yourself with maybe you're thinking of a few co-workers that you work with or people at school of course you cannot quit school or quit your job just to not be around them but you have the beautiful opportunity to take control of your environment, where it's now in your hands, whether you choose to let them in and have access to you in your life. You could be surrounded by the worst people at school, you could be surrounded by the worst co-workers at school, but that doesn't impact your environment

because you have the option to not let them into your bubble or have access to you. Think of your personal environment as a bubble. Do you want your bubble popped by a negative person? No. I saw this quote the other day and it was so unbelievably true. And it said, if you hang around five smokers, you'll become the sixth. If you hang around five successful people, you'll become the sixth.

Show me your friends and I'll show you your future. Choose your circle of influence wisely. I literally love that so much because every single bit of it was true. You will begin to reflect what. what is influencing you. If you do not want to become the people you hang around, then it's in your hands to not hang out with them anymore. Again, hang around five smokers, you'll become the six.

Hang around five successful people, you'll become the six. Stop trying to justify to yourself that the people you surround yourself with and the media you consume is okay. You know, deep down, if the people you're surrounding yourself with and the media you're consuming is good for you or not. You are not dumb. So stop acting dumb. You are so unbelievably smart, so why are you self-sabotaging yourself and trying to justify to yourself that what you are doing is okay?

You are so much better than the negative things that you are consuming and the negative people that you're choosing to hang around. Your value is at the very top, so why are you lowering your value? Our next partner is AG1, the daily foundational nutrition supplement that supports whole body health. I drink this literally every day and I decided to give AG1 a try because I was tired of trying to keep track of all these different supplements and instead just go with one easy solution, which turned out to be AG1. I drink AG1 in the morning before I start my day because it truly just gives me such a motivated mindset and gives my body such energy for the day. Since I started taking AG1, I've noticed feeling just so much better throughout the day. I feel more energized and able to be much more productive, but most of all I asked myself,

why I take a ton of different supplements when I could just take one scoop in the morning, mix it in my water once a day. I'm always looking to upgrade my wellness routine and that's where I begin loving AG1. My AG1 is delivered to me every month so it's been super easy to make it a daily habit. And whenever I'm visiting back home to San Diego, I always bring my traveling packs with me so I never miss a day. If you want to take ownership of your health, try AG1 and get a free one-year supply of vitamin D and five free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase. Go to drinkag1.com slash pretty. That's drinkag1.com slash pretty. Check it out.

Influence is so strong and you have to surround yourself by the people you want to become. Or maybe you haven't met those right people yet who you want to become and want to surround yourself with. Wouldn't you much rather be alone? Consume media online that is positive rather than hang around people who are bringing you down, making you feel unmotivated and isn't allowing you to grow? I would much rather be alone so I can work on myself rather than try to just fit in with a group of people who do not want to see me succeed or motivating me to become the best version of me. So if you haven't met those right people yet in your life, then watch people online, follow people online that you want to become. If you want to become a really successful doctor, follow those doctors on social media, watch their work, watch their lifestyle.

If you want to become a really successful businesswoman, go watch videos, go watch vlogs, go follow girls who are also successful businesswoman. That is surrounding yourself with the environment you need. Unfollow the girl who keeps posting negative things or stop following people who are constantly ranting on social media. Don't get me wrong, nobody's perfect and we all have her days, but the people in the media that you allow and give your time to should be positive, uplifting and motivating the majority of the time. Of course, you can watch those story time videos of sad things, but think about this. If you're watching 24-7 all negative things on social media, you will begin feeling negative. But if you start watching all positive things most of the time, you will begin feeling positive.

Take control of your life. What are you waiting for? Do you want to become sad, negative, sluggish? full of drama and just nowhere in life? Or do you want to become the highest version of you, reach your full of potential, see the world in a positive lens, and uplift others?

Which I assume you do. So check yourself. Take a look in the mirror. Is the person you're becoming the person you want to become? If the answer is no, this is a reality check for you to improve your environment. Hello, babe. Yes, I'm talking to you.

Do you want to smell better naked? Let's face it, Our underarms aren't the only place we have odor. That's why I'm excited to tell you guys about Loomi whole body, deodorant for Pits, Privates, and Beyond. Loomy was created by an OBGYN who discovered and proved in clinical testing that the vagina is not to blame for our day-to-day odor

below the belt. So she developed Loomie. A uniquely formulated pH balanced deodorant. It's aluminum-free, skin-safe, and clinically proven to control odor up to 72 hours. Loomy has been a brand I've been using for many, many months now, and I will not shut up about it because I truly love their products. If you look at my purse, I always have their

deodorant on me because I get sweaty throughout the day. I cannot help it. What I love about Loomi is that they're paraben free, which is super important to me. Lumi's starter pack is perfect for new customers. It comes with a solid stick deodorant, a cream tube deodorant, two free products of your choice like mini body wash and deodorant wipes and free shipping. I want to give you busy at Pretty Babes a special offer so for new customers get $5 off a Loomie starter pack with code busy at loomidiodorant.com. That equates over 40% off your starter pack when you visit loomidioderant.com and use code busy. When it comes to taking control of your environment, maybe you can't help to see your negative co-workers because they work the same shifts as you or you have to see the rude

people at school because they're in your classes. Again, yes, maybe they're in your physical environment, but they don't have to be in your mental environment. This is your bubble. They don't have to be in your bubble. This is your chance to take control of how you partake and react. If the people around you are gossiping, are you going to partake? No, why would you? Why would you surround yourself in that? If the people around you are complaining how nothing good happens to them, are you going to agree with them and say, oh, I know I feel the same way, nothing good happens to me? No. Whether you agree with them or not. If someone's complaining how hard their life is, but your life is going great, you're not going to agree with them.

But it's really easy to have an automatic response, letting you know you agree with them to almost give some sort of sympathy to them, because we want others to feel comfortable. We want others to do well. And of course, if you want to sympathize with them, it's easy to say, I know, I agree, I feel the same way. But you have to remember, there are other ways to sympathize with someone, than dimming your candle to match theirs.

Support them. Give them hope. but do not knock down yourself to help them. If you motivate them and leave them with some sort of motivation, you both are leaving that situation and that conversation feeling happier and motivated. But if you say, oh, I agree with you, life's so hard, you both are leaving that conversation in situation negative and sad. It's in your hands to choose the way you want to partake and react.

How do you expect to live the lifestyle you dream of and become the person you want to be if all you do is put yourself in unhealthy and negative environments and partake and react the ways you do. You're so much better than this. If you're the smartest person in the room, move to another room. Again, surround yourself with people with more experience than you who are living the life that you aim to have. That will allow you to grow. Staying still, staying complacent, being okay with feeling comfortable, will never allow you to grow. Surrounding yourself in a different room with people who have more experience than you, who are smarter than you, and who are living the life that you want to live, will allow you to grow. So be mindful of what you're consuming. I don't care if you're watching trash TV because you think it's fun,

but don't watch it 24-7. If all you do is come home after working watch trash TV, how is that going to help you grow? I'm not telling you not to watch trash TV. Of course, that's fun. But replace some of that time that you consume watching that with better uplifting and beneficial media. You hear that sound?

So right now, if you're hearing this, you're already showing effort that you want to be a better person, want to live the lifestyle you dream of. So this is me trying to show you what has helped me and I know this will help you as well. If you begin to hate your reflection and who you are as a person, take a step back and realize this is not you. You were not born to feel this way. You were not born to be this person. When you're looking in the mirror, what you're hating is your choice of environment and reaction

and partaking into the wrong environment. hope this left you with a better mindset on remembering that this is not you. The minute you feel bad about yourself, the minute you don't understand while your life feels awful, this is because you have been surrounding yourself with the wrong people, wrong friends, wrong media, and this is the perfect way to reality check yourself. You don't have to completely cut people out who are nice maybe but they're not allowing you to grow. There's no need to fully subtract everything, but more of what can you add to this life to allow you to become the person you want to become.
